Official Review! The Test (The List #2) by Tawna Fenske

BLURB

This is a test. A test of every life decision Lisa Michaels has ever made.

Lisa thought she’d gotten everything right: The nicest condo, the right career, the best hair, and a perfectly adequate sex life with her stockbroker fiancé. But when the fiancé ditches her at the altar, Lisa’s left questioning every decision she’s ever made. What if her instincts have been steering her wrong all along? And what if she tested that theory by spending one month doing the exact opposite of what she’d normally do?

A crazy-hot fling with a tattooed steelworker from the wrong side of the tracks seems like a good starting point…

Each book in the The List series is STANDALONE:* The List* The Test

OFFICIAL REVIEW!

I received a copy via NetGalley and voluntarily left a review with opinions that are only my own.

Tawna Fenske is an author that I had yet to experience but after reading the very intriguing blurb, I just couldn’t resist opening up her newest work and taking it for a test drive. I absolutely love opposite attract stories because I think it rings true in real life, make it one with a fancy debutante and a muscled guy from across the tracks with naughty things to cross off their list and I am hooked!

Lisa Michaels is nursing a broken heart, or what she thinks is a broken heart, for an ex fiance when she has a revelation that maybe she should make decisions that she normally wouldn’t make…starting with the muscled hunk at the bar. I loved going along with Lisa’s adventure to discover pieces of herself that she didn’t know existed and watching her fall head over heels with the delectable Dax! I felt like I was truly along for this fictional journey during every gasped breath, new discovery of herself, and exploration of love.

Dax Kensington had me hooked from the moment he was introduced with his bad boy feel and “knows how to work with his hands” image. Who wouldn’t fall for every inch of his deliciousness, even with all of his hang ups…and boy does he have many about anything concerning money, intelligence, or anything that states sophistication. I loved watching Lisa break down all of his walls and stereotypes about people who are well off. It wasn’t long into the story and he soon began to learn that a polished, well dressed woman could be so much more than just a quick roll in the hay.

Tawna Fenske delivers a love story that pushes against all of our stereotypical thoughts of different classes and shows us the human emotions buried deep underneath their persona. I highly recommend The Test for a romance that is flirty, thrumming with desire, and hits our hearts going full speed! Tawna kept me tied up in their heat and my heart twisting right along with theirs. I cannot wait to discover more of her fictional worlds and see if she still strikes such a deep chord in my heart as she did with Lisa and Dax’s story.

Where do I start? For my very first "Author Spotlight", I have not one, but THREE great authors to mention. Why is that?

My brother's best friend should have come with a warning label.
The man was a cautionary tale and we were the ill-fated cliché. The star quarterback to my loner art geek.
But I didn't listen. Not to the warnings. Not to my instincts.
